Luminosity

Mr Lim said: "Shades like blue, green, grey and mauve create the effect of luminosity and life in the face.

"As most Asian girls tend to have golden undertones, they look most natural wearing warm colours. But that does not mean they cannot wear cool colours - in fact, these will just look more vibrant against their skin.

"For example for Diya, who is more tan, I have chosen shades of plum to give her a more vibrant look."
